Everybody dies, Tracey. Someone's carrying a bullet for you right now, doesn't even know it. The trick is to die of old age before it finds you.

How are you me? You need to stop that. Only I can be me. ~Kara

ita, how about you send it to me and I organize it? It's not like I've got enough to do. Sitting around eating bonbons all day and watching Firefly DVDs isn't as fulfilling as I'd hoped.

(Not your fault, Nilly!)

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Thank you, Deena. I'll get that off to you this morning (board time). Don't let Kara get it covered in crayon marks, though!

Sure I went over to the Dark Side, but just to pick up a few things.

Deena - if people want to go through Buffy/Angel episodes there's a site that has ALL of the broadcast scripts here: [link]

I'm not sure if you have any idea how you want to organize, but I can start going through Buffy season 1 looking for good quotes...let me know.

ita - what is the character length of the space for the random quote generator?

It can't be longer than the love's bitch speech. I can look that up, but not right now. So if it's not done in a couple hours I'll find it.

You're not friends. You'll never be friends. You'll be in love till it kills you both. You'll fight, and you'll shag, and you'll hate each other till it makes you quiver, but you'll never be friends. Love isn't brains, children, it's blood...blood screaming inside you to work its will. I may be love's bitch, but at least I'm man enough to admit it.

Always count spaces.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

I like the Firefly quotes. Can't we just add Buffy and Angel quotes until we have the same number of each? They're all ME words after all. The more quotes in the database, the more nice surprises when they pop up.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

I'm in favor of adding more quotes from Buffy and Angel, especially the later seasons, but really, 720 quotations from 13 episodes of Firefly (as compared to 280 quotes from 144 eps of Buffy and 110 eps of Angel) strikes me as massive overkill. That's more than 50 quotes per episode. Even "Something Blue" didn't have that many. We really ought to be able to cull some of the less inspiring ones.

Going back into the admin mailbox reminds me -- the FAQs probably need deep rehauls (beathen points out we know what happened to Miss Kitty Fantastico). I also remember this being discussed and even performed (though not put up) earlier -- am I making things up?

No, you're not. Didn't tina f. do a lot of overhauling of the FAQ?
